So you’re thinking about seeing a chiropractor? Here is how the first visit will go.
On your first visit to Back to Health, the doctor ask about the following:
- personal medical history
- major illnesses you have experienced
- surgeries or operations you have had
- medications you are taking
- a description of your present condition
- the steps you have taken to manage your condition
- your diet and exercise
- your sleeping habits, daily activities, work routine, stress level, and home life
The doctor will then proceed to do a physical exam which will involve all/some of the following:
- a check of your blood pressure, pulse and breathing
- a test of your reflexes, strength and sensations
- an analysis of your posture
- an X-ray of your spine
- an analysis of your movement — he/she will observe how you walk, turn, bend or lift things, as well as how your body moves in the affected area
- a hands-on evaluation of how well your spine moves, identifying restrictions and areas of improper motion
The doctor will then give you a description of their findings, how these things effect your daily life and a wellness plan involving chiropractic adjustments, nutritional goals, and exercise to prevent injury. The chiropractic lifestyle is about eating right, moving and exercising our bodies, and keeping a stress free mind with positive surroundings. Call Back to Health today to book an appointment!
